EnVision has also signed main tank Bryan “iShiny” McCarthy, DPS players Jason “Jaru” White and Casey “buds” McIlwaine, and supports Anthony “Fire” King and William “Crimzo” Hernandez. EnVision is looking to impress in the Overwatch Contenders North American tournament with the goal of landing a slot in the second season of the Overwatch League, EnVision owner Artur Minacov said in a statement. The North American organization acquired its Overwatch Contenders season one slot after Team Liquid abandoned their position in the tournament. The team failed to qualify on their own, but surprised viewers when they impressed in the tournament, ultimately taking third place. EnVision earned a spot in the APAC Premier from that placing, but failed to move out of group stage, losing to Flash Wolves, MVP Space, and Vici Gaming.
